But not every beauty seeker needs to take so much, and doctors need to calculate the amount of auricular cartilage needed for surgery according to the face-to-face diagnosis. For example, the nasal tip condition is good and the amount of ear cartilage needed is small; The tip of the nose likes to do three-dimensional exaggeration, and the amount of ear cartilage is more.
